These books were written in Urdu script and published in a small number.
Over the years English and hindi took the centre stage, pushing Urdu into
oblivion. Some translations appeared in 1990’s in hindi but had many many
mistakes; The 1952 edition’s translation caught fancy of every one who laid
his eyes on it and it further let to ignorance about other 4 editions.

Shri Yograj Prabhakar resident of Patiala took on the task of bringing out the
true/exact content as published in the original form. He had copy of 1952
original edition and was ready to share but for other 4 parts he had to struggle
a lot as the people who possessed the copies didn’t want to share it.
Fortunately internet technology came handy and he was able to establish
contact with Shri Rajinder Bhatia living in U.S.A who is a family friend of Pt ji.
Through the help of such contacts and divine grace Prabhakar ji was able to
get hold of all the five original editions and with the help of Shri Nirmal Ji of
Chandigarh, he has uploaded all these books on internet and therby available
to all free of cost.

Under his guidance Shri Veni Madhav Goswami of Delhi published the exact
transliterations i.e. only the script was changed to devnagri but words
remained same; care was taken that word; line no; page no matched with the
original works. 1939; 1940; 1942 editions have been published by Sagar
publications and the fifth and final edition is scheduled to be released on 13-
12-2009. 1941 edition’s transliteration has been published by Yograj ji
himself.
